Driver doesn't auto-install after kernel update
On previous driver version, dated july 2022 and before, whenever a new kernel update came out, the Wi-FI driver always installed along with DKMS, but on recent versions it doesn't, it requires the run the script install-driver.sh, is there a way to make it auto-install as before? I still have the older driver version, and it works flawlessly
Hi @viggen66
Did you run the remove-driver.sh
script with the old version of the driver before cloning and installing the new version?
Hi morrownr,
To begin with, thanks for your effort and support, your driver really works well with Linux, I see it this way, for some ubuntu distros' like Zorin, Mint, the older version (July 2022) restores Wifi driver on Kernel updates, but for newer kernel versions namely 5.19.0-38-generic, the older version driver doesn't work, only the most recent one of 2023, also KDE did a kernel update and Wifi was working, it seems there's some version of Linux kernel that makes the jump between 2022 and 2023.
